Dead Rising 3 review

[Neon Ignition]

This installed enough for me to start up the game, reached my garage hideout so just enough play to see how it holds up.

This is another launch game that has a current gen air to its visuals, they're solid though and set another zombies on screen record for the series as it is far from shy with them. Later on I'm likely to build more weapon combos which will make it more traditional as the opening leads to to do a lot of Mario platforming, leaping from car roof to car roof. It's a more straight forward affair as well so far compared to the other entries sandboxes.

Vehicles are light and boxy, it's easy to plough a path with them. The PP system returns but at the moment it feels more survival focused than going nuts in a seaof zombies. We'll see...

I'm really enjoying it. It does look a bit current gen, but some of the effects and the amount going on still give it that next gen feel. Doesn't look bad by any means IMO.

Have you tried to use the Xbox Companion app? I can't get it to work on my Galaxy S4, it says there should be a link or something but there's nothing there for me.

[Neon Ignition]

Not yet, it popped up telling me about it but that's all so far. The no of zombies in some scenes is immense

I used the companion app last night and not kidding, whilst I was playing and clearing zombies it rang my phone (it was 5am yes I was still up) and it made me jump out my skin, answered the call and it was the character giving me some gps map location for some extra missions, they appeared on map and set my waypoint for it.
Thought it was a cool idea, worked really well.

What phone have your got mate? Won't work on my iPhone 4 or Galaxy s4.

[Family Fry]

iPhone 5.
Should work with either the phones you have listed. My Mrs. was using it on her samsung galaxy S2!

Nice to see the day one patch irradiate the slow down hit on the games framerate
The amount of zombies onscreen is gob smacking

My phone rang yesterday, was quite a spooky moment!

Anybody else's game really dark when going indoors? I can't see a thing.

Incorrect gamma/brightness setting on your tv? Or wrong HDMI setting?

[PeteJ]

Everything else is fine, just this. I setup the gamma using the ingame slider but it still seems too dark. It isn't atmospheric dark either, the lighting just doesn't seem right. Outdoors its fine.

Try setting TV and Xbox to limited range RGB and report back?

You you done the TV calibration built into the Xbox?

[PeteJ]

Yup, every other game looks fine. I've wacked the gamma up ingame (higher than it suggest) and it looks much better now. FSW, not seeing that option.

As Chapter 0 comes to an end, it's time to take in the sights
